4K Exploring Kent || 2 - A Walk Through Changing Folkestone

The last train into Folkestone Harbour happened 15 years ago. It followed the withdrawal of ferries to France in 2001 and the slow decline before that.
Yet, Folkestone today is reborn: the famous viaduct and swing bridge across the harbour is now a walkway, giving you superb views around. The restoration of the station area, through to the lighthouse, is superb.
So, join me on a walk around changing Folkestone, including the coastal path to Hythe and the surprising number of artworks on display.
